Here is something you should know about olive oil

Olives are one of the oldest foods in the world. Since there is a lot of information on this subject, there is no doubt that the oil extracted from olives is a very good oil for health. In fact, it can be said that this is one of the healthiest oils available to us today.

With its many benefits like : anti-inflammatory properties, cardiovascular, digestive health, bone health, sight, cancer control and many other benefits, olive oil is really an amazing superfood!

Most people are aware of the benefits that olive oil offers, but most people are not aware of the harmful properties it has when it is heated. When heated, even at extremely low temperatures, all the enzymes and incredible health benefits that the oil contains are destroyed, and the oil turns into trans fat. These are the worst fats to consume with animal fats. Trans fats produced by humans can increase your “bad” cholesterol and lower your “good” cholesterol.

Even olive oil heated to a very low temperature makes this oil rancid and bad for health.

It is better when it is simply used at room temperature. Olive oil is excellent in a vinaigrette, for dipping with bread, and you can even drizzle your favorite cooked dishes to have that special divine flavor.

When you buy olive oil in stores, you have to watch a few important things. There is a lot of demand for this oil, and unfortunately, the offer does not meet this demand. Most oils sold in stores as pure olive oil are actually mixed with other oils to increase the amount of olive oil.

There are standards that are used for pure olive oil.

The International Olive Oil Council labels the oil that respects the true standards for the popular “extra virgin olive oil” and “virgin olive oil”. If you do not see the COI label, it may not be what it claims to be. It must also be ensured that the olive oil is “cold-extracted”. This means that the olives are not heated during the extraction of the oil, which is very important. The simple fact of heating olive oil removes all its health benefits.

Now you have to ask yourself, “But what am I supposed to cook with food?

Coconut oil is a natural and extremely good for health oil, which can be heated to very high temperatures without losing all its essential nutrients and without turning into trans fats. There is a kind of stigma around coconut oil because it’s actually saturated fat, but saturated fat is good for your health. (Breast milk is 50% saturated fat and is considered the healthiest thing to eat.)

Coconut oil can help in: weight loss, high blood pressure, heart disease, bone health, digestion, diabetes, cancer and many other ailments. It also contains auric acid, which has antifungal and antibacterial properties.

Coconut oil is solid in its natural state, when you cook it, just take a nut, put it in your stove, it will melt pretty quickly.

To keep it, put it in a cool, dark place, but not in the refrigerator. If it is kept in a warm place it liquefies.

Know that there are several varieties of coconut oil. You can buy especially for cooking and it has almost no taste and no smell, so no, all your food will not have an exotic touch! Here’s one thing to make sure you buy 100% raw organic coconut oil. Read the labels.

Not only does this oil interfere very well, but it can also be used locally for many different things. It’s great for dry hands, chapped lips, and it can be melted and applied to hair too!

UPDATE :

Due to its chemical structure and a large amount of unsaturated fats, cooking extra virgin olive oil makes it susceptible to oxidative damage. However, I recently learned that even when used cold, it is still extremely perishable!

As it turns out, extra virgin olive oil contains chlorophyll which speeds up the decomposition and makes the oil rancid fairly quickly.
